poor quality control wouldn’t recommend you buy this

Its controls are easy to understand.

An additional point about having such precise temp control is for cooks who work with recipes that require water to be at a certain temperature, such as the water you sprinkle dry yeast in to start the activation process

The precise temp control that makes perfect tea and coffee is also great for cooking and baking where the addition of water at a precise temp is called for

You really do get much better pour control with a gooseneck.

Fine temperature control (remembered from one use to the next); keep warm feature so pour-over is at same temp even with pauses; bright stainless interior with lid large enough for easy filling and cleaning; comfortable handle; functional spout for controlled pour-over

Water comes up to temp super fast and the kettle allows excellent control.

The base and temperature control are sleek, simple to use, and it heats up fast.

The handle is angled, and that, combined with the long, slim spout gives you excellent control over the flow and placement of where the water is going

Since I mostly use it for brewing gongfu style tea, it's critical for me to have good control over the temperature of the water

Comfortable handle and good control of pouring into the dripper.

and....this strong metal smell + chemical smell is STILL PRESENT at the same level....Other than that...control and ergonomics are AMAZING, and AMAZINGLY accurate gooseneck tip is best

The pour can be controlled so well - down to just a drip

The spout gives good control over the pouring speed, and requires little actual thought to time effectively

Quick to boil and love the temperature control and timer.

The advantages of the OXO over the BV, mainly the better pour control and the interior of the kettle not containing any plastic, makes this the better kettle for me

I liked the temp controls and had the thing been easier to use I would have appreciated being able to customize my tea types to the correct water temp

It looks nice, the temperature nice is smooth, and it's controls are quite intuitive and uncluttered.

I use it for tea where the precise temp control is essential

Good looking, comfortable handle, intuitive controls, great pour control and ergonomics.

You have very good control due to the thin stream of water

Pour is well controlled and consistent

You probably don't need adjustable temperature control unless you have a lot of different brews that are finicky with their required temps

Handle is super comfortable, control from the gooseneck is fantastic, and it heats water FAST

Heats up extremely fast and has great temperature control

Aside from that, the pouring itself and the weighting is very nice, as well as temperature control

The goose-neck spout design allows for excellent pouring control for brewing loose leaf tea in small tea pots and gaiwans.

The handle stays cool and gives perfect control of the kettle.

Much better pour control with the spout, fewer spills.

Easy temperature control and it gets to temp quite quickly

Small footprint, user friendly controls, auto shutoff, hold at temp feature and easy read screen.

Big fan of the clean, minimal, one-button design and the precise temperature control... but the lid leaks like crazy

I like the dial and the temperature control

Much more precise and user-friendly temperature control

I can pour out a small steady stream and have super control over my coffee brewing.

Great kettle with precise temperature control

And with a spout and pours out water was super control
